"In the second half we really went for it and it felt as though we could have won. We did well in a difficult match against a team which is playing in the Champions League for good reason. 
 
"We went behind at a tough stadium where the crowd gets on top of you. But I think we did a lot of good work. Our goal always has to be like what it was in the second half: go and win the game."
